RE: Additional Second Generation Blessing Workshop Scheduled at UTS, Barrytown, NY on June 22-24th, 2007

Due to the growing number of Second Generation candidates for matching and Blessing, the Blessing Workshop scheduled on June 15-17th in the Washington, DC area is filled beyond capacity, with more seeking to apply.

To accommodate all of those who would like to participate, we have scheduled an additional East Coast Blessing Workshop for 2nd Generation, to be held the following weekend, June 22-24th at UTS in Barrytown, NY. The cost of registration, core staff and presenters will be identical. Like the Washington, DC workshop, registration at UTS begins at 3:00 PM, and participants MUST arrive by no later than 6:00 PM. The program will finish by 3:00 PM Sunday.

Due to the large number of participants, the Washington, DC program faces crowded conditions, off-site sleeping arrangements, transportation challenges and meals in shifts.

To avoid these, we urgently request all participants who have already registered for the June 15-17th program, but who live closer to UTS and are driving, to attend the UTS workshop on the 22-24th if possible. Any others who can re-schedule for UTS are encouraged to do so.

At this point, registration for June 15-17th is closed. Those registering for the Blessing Workshop can attend the UTS program on June 22-24th. Those who have been matched by their parents and any Blessed Child 17 years of age or older may participate. Parents are also welcome to attend the entire workshop with their children.
